The hateful eight 70mm roadshow

the hateful eight 70mm road show

Usher handed me a full color program on the way in.

10 minute musical overture before the film starts.

Film is over 3 hours long with a 15 minute intermission.

1st act is mostly dialogue driven. 2nd act is full of action and over the top gore.

I enjoyed it very much. Pretty much anyone whos acted in a previous q.t. Film was acting in this one. It was an actual western this time. Not a western about nazis or samurais or jewelry thieves. 70mm print looks amazing.

Saw it at the AMC theater at Garden state plaza.IIRC this is the closest theater with a 70mm showing.

Sadly, no more Tarantino for me. Can't deal with the brutality and gore.

brutal and gory is an understatement. This was teetering on an NC-17 according to a few people I know in the industry.

Same here.

Not for me, but I really admire the push to deliver a special old-school cinematic experience.

Can't wait to see it--thanks for posting

apparently its only playing in the 70mm format for 2 weeks. The visuals were stunning. I'd see it in 70mm if I were you and asap.

Same here, but I'm glad you enjoyed it (and I understand the draw).  

it's not the gore. I just don't like his movies. 

Looking forward.   QT writes dialogue like no one else. 

i heard the Tim Roth part was written for Christoph Waltz but since the story takes place in nearly the same time period as Django, Waltz would be playing a character very similar to the one he played in Django. Some bloggers have accused Roth of doing a Waltz impression.
